------------/God of the Philistines, Of Impossibility; David’s (My) Thoughts While Running Towards Goliath
When I stare into your vitreous eyes
(almost vacant), scarred face,
grizzly beard over scraggy skin,
inexplicably entranced by the drawn scowl,
I feel as if I have always known you. You
are the dark and imposing shadow of my
tenebrous inner self manifested
that howls at me in moments of adversity,
nine feet tall swinging a sword of 600 shekels,
coat of mail weighing 5,000,
the combined weight in tears
during my bouts of cowering and crying
over many nights, taunting
and calling into question all I know about
life, love, and God. Philistine champion
of all my memories, herald of all my
past failures. You condescendingly disparage
all my previous successes, when I miraculously
killed the lion and the bear of self-loathing
and unworthiness within,
bare handed drenched in blood all over,
somehow surviving the worst of setbacks.
You tell me I will never find a wife,
that I will always fail and underachieve,
Im destined forever to be shackled by debt.
My friends are like my Hebrew countrymen enlisted
in the infantry standing flaccid, confounded
at how to help, paralyzed by a pernicious pervasive
plague devouring all courage in Israel.
There is a price on your head however,
and I will not sleep until I claim it,
boldly standing before God
proclaiming victory before the war,
the wedding before the betrothal period.
Desperately I will run to battle you
grabbing a sling of all my determination
sliding therein five smooth sentimental stones –
faith, hope, peace, romance, acceptance –
which I fully intend to hurl between your eyes.
When it ends,
holding your heavy head in my hands severed
with your own sword,
I wont be afraid of you,
I wont be afraid to believe in myself
anymore.
(selah)
----------------------1 Samuel 17:8-11, 16, 26
Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose a man and have him come down to me. If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.” Then the Philistine said, “This day I defy the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.” On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified. For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand. David asked the men standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?” Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!” David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
------------My Apocalypse Lyrics
There's a place that I've found
As far as I can see
This place lies within
The depths of my dreams
In a garden surrounded
By fire and trees
Through the smoke a silhouette I can barely see
There's a man with an axe
Standing in the rain
Looked me straight in my eye
This is what he had to say
Never fall asleep
You won't wake up
Destroy the guillotine
Before he does
I walk with shadows
(you have to find a better way)
I walk with shadows
(the questions I will never say)
Hiding from the gallows
(they keep me safe and sound)
So I walk in shadows
(the ways of burning down this house)
End transmission
The satellites are down
I need an earthquake
To shake this pity
Off the ground
Just don't trust these liars at the door
(you have to find a better way)
Kill the ones that have these answers for
(the questions I will never say)
Never fall asleep
You won't wake up
Destroy the guillotine
Before he does
I walk with shadows
(you have to find a better way)
I walk with shadows
(the questions I will never say)
Hiding from the gallows
(they keep me safe and sound)
So I walk in shadows
(the ways of burning down this house)
End transmission
The satellites are down
I need an earthquake
To shake this pity
Off the ground
All the vibrant colors I see
And the shades that fill the grey
Pain
The pain
Pain
The pain
Pain
The pain
Pain
The pain
Pain
[x2]
Hiding from the gallows
(you have to find a better way)
I walk with shadows
(the questions I will never say)
Hiding from the gallows
(they keep me safe and sound)
So I walk in shadows
(the ways of burning down this house)
-----------------Crooked Young Lyrics
Believe in no one!
Hallelujah — well, I'm saved!
Just a dozen steps and 28 days...
It's a miracle, I'll be born again!
With the Lord as my shepherd...
I will find a way!
F* YOUR FAITH!
No one's gonna save you!
F* YOUR FAITH!
There's no hope for us
We speak in tongues
Blacker than the sun
No, death can't touch...
The crooked young
There's no hope for us
We speak in tongues
Blacker than the sun
No, death can't touch...
The crooked young
The crooked young!
We don't sleep, we don't eat
We speak in tongues
We can't die, we're dead inside
No, death can't touch...
The crooked young
Believe in no one but yourself
The faceless won't save you
The clouds won't hear your f*ing prayers
(There's no hope for us)
(We speak in tongues)
(Blacker than the sun)
(No, death can't touch...)
(The crooked young)
Hallelujah — I'm saved!
It's a miracle... thank you Jesus!
Hallelujah — I'm saved!
F* YOUR FAITH!
F* YOUR FAITH!
